Magicka Nightblade (Merciless Syphoner)

Introduction

I have always loved Magika Nightblades, they are the most fun to play with in my honest opinion. Why? They are not a lazy play style. With the Magika Nightblade it is a more upbeat play style. I am able to hit 39k maximum and potentially more with this build on a 3 million health parse dummy. Things to love about MagBlade are self heals, you hit hard and a magic bow that you can shoot! That’s pretty cool.

Resource Management

Resources are managed entirely through Siphoning Attacks and Spell Power Pots.

Gear Setup

Maelstrom Staff: The staff isn’t necessary for this build but will give you an extra 2/3k extra damage

Skills

Please don’t be a cookie cutter build follower, read the tooltips associated with each skill. The best players are also students of the game. Take the time to understand what you’re doing and why. This knowledge will help you determine if you need to speed up or slow down the rotation when shielding or dodge rolling, either to optimize skill uptime or gain extra resources
